Tin Ingot

Tin Ingot is produced by smelting Tin Ore at the Furnace. It has a bright silvery appearance and is one of the simpler smelted materials in the game in terms of standalone uses. Though it lacks a wide variety of direct applications on its own, Tin Ingot is strategically important as a prerequisite for one of the most useful early-to-mid-game alloys in Everwind.

Tin Ingot's primary function is as one of the two ingredients needed to craft Bronze Ingot at the Furnace, combined with Copper Ingot in a 1:1 ratio. Bronze Ingot is a strong mid-game material that supports a range of crafting projects beyond what plain copper or tin can offer. Outside of bronze production, Tin Ingot has limited standalone crafting applications, so most of your tin supply will flow almost entirely into the bronze crafting pipeline.

Because Tin Ore is limited to Zone 1, Tin Ingots are a resource you need to plan ahead for. Players who reach Zone 2 without having stockpiled enough tin will find bronze production halted until they return to lower-altitude areas to mine more. A good ratio to aim for is roughly equal amounts of Tin Ingot and Copper Ingot in storage at all times, since bronze requires both in equal measure. Smelt your tin as you go rather than letting raw ore pile up, so your crafting capacity stays ready.
